dc.description.abstractSymmetrical facial-skin ulceration associated with severe epistaxis is described for the first time in sickle-cell anaemia. It is suggested that extreme reflex vasoconstriction in the skin of the face precipitated skin necrosis. The variability of the presenting symptoms in sickle-cell disease is underlined. � 1965, British Medical Journal Publishing Group. All rights reserved. � 2016 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
